Rheumatologist: I suspect that you have a painful polyneuropathy or polyneuritis which may be on the basis of an autoimmune disorder in view of the presence of multiple mouth ulcers. I recommend an evaluation by a rheumatologist. A neurologist and oral surgeon may also be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.
